Natural earth containing ferric oxide used as a pigment (6)

I believe the answer is:

sienna

(Other definitions for sienna that I've seen before include "Pigment obtained from earth" , "Medieval Tuscan city" , "-- Sauce; -- toast" , "Raw -; burnt -" , "Earthy paint pigment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
